I drew this with a Sharpie in my new Kraft paper sketchpad. When I had everything drawn except the wind at the top left, I showed it to my husband and said, “Something’s missing. What does it need?” He suggested the wind. This is why I keep him around.

And because I got such instantaneous rave reviews from my family and friends (I love you guys), I posted it on Society6.com. Enjoy.

Tomorrow’s the last day my 2017 Weekly Planner Doodle Art Coloring Book is on sale for $7.50. (Regular price $9.50) Stock up to gift everyone you know. That way they’ll have no excuse for missing that dinner you had planned for months. 😉

I guess I’m no good at multi-tasking my arts. I don’t think I’ve picked up a drawing pen in over a month. Maybe two. Instead I’ve been busy with my (virtual) writing pen. It’s so great to be back at it again but I miss doodling!

My amazing sister sent these to me a few weeks ago and it has taken me forever to share them. These are… (wait for it) her very first 3 doodles… EVER! I can’t stand it. And I can’t wait to see what else she comes up with. Since she’s a card-maker, I am envisioning sparkly doodles in layers of prettily (is that a word?) cut papers and stamps. Challenge accepted, Gianna?

I had a rare opportunity to sit home in my PJs all day today and, of course, managed to work for a few hours and unpack boxes for another couple of hours. That’s just me. I can’t sit around all day and do nothing. Today turned out quite well. I feel rejuvenated. So enjoy the time lapse video of this spunky doodle being created.

I am really happy with this design, as you can see because I’ve already uploaded it on Society6.com in both its original black and white and as in color. Which do you like better?

It’s such a simple design. Start with a squiggly, add “leaves.” That’s all. When filling in the large black areas, don’t “color” in the traditional sense. Draw consecutive straight lines across the page until it’s all covered. It sounds ridiculous but it lends for a very clean black area. Also, you can’t really see it in the progress shots but I started this one with a compass and a very light penciled in circle. It’s something new I’ve been trying. If you don’t have a compass, try tracing a large, round object.
